Big shop at Mr M's. - Did really well bought everything she needed for £54. Also really good deal on, 2 pots of home made soup, punnet of veg, pork joint and strawberry trifle all for £4!!!!!!! Don't know if its nationwide though.

    jCame home had lunch, Did bathroom. WMx 1 on TDx1 big box of more washing on landing, box of carp on landing for tip and yet more to do!!!!
    List isn't looking to bad.

  • Hello again, everyone! Just back from Sociology class - and I thought I would just ask the question on here - it's not research per say, I think - it's just a question i want to ask you lot since it's going to affect many of you rather than me.

    Bascially, we're covering social policy at the moment, in class, and I've been given Married Couples Tax Allowences.

    I'm doing online research to get the year, party, the offical name and what it involves but the last question is "How might it affect the family?" It's not about deeply personal stuff, but just generally, what does this tax break mean for you?

    Reply again in a minute, but I just wanted to put this out there seperate from the rest of my news...

    Thank you Toottifrootti - It was a lovely day and I honestly had no idea what I would be getting. I opened it up and just dropped my jaw. He is a very good SO; observant as well, since he knows what I like and what I don't like - and can follow it!
